问题 the subjunctive mood

选项

答案The subjunctive in the present system is a formal category, as distinguished from the old categorization which, semantic as it apparently is, used to cover all the verb forms that express assumptions contrary to the given fact or not likely to be materialized, and becomes a far less important verbal category than was suggested. What used to be expressed by means of the formally indistinctive subjunctive mood is now chiefly expressed by means of modal auxiliaries, past tense forms, past perfect forms, etc. For example, God bless you. They insisted that he be given the job.
